LOWELL -- The Northern Middlesex Council of Governments will hold a public meeting and workshop Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Elks Lodge hall at 40 Old Ferry Road. The meeting is related to the Rourke Bridge, Wood Street, Westford Street and Drum Hill Road Corridor Study and Feasibility Analysis project.

The agenda includes a brief project overview, a look at 2035 baseline conditions and traffic operations and a report on alternatives for further analysis.

A workshop will follow the presentation that will allow attendees to learn details on project elements, share feedback and talk with the project manager and engineers.

The Rourke Bridge project will analyze existing and future traffic conditions within the study area and examine the feasibility of replacing the temporary bridge with a permanent structure. It will also recommend other transportation improvements that can be made with the bridge project to help alleviate congestion and safety concerns.
